Safety Tips
I spoke with a member of the Toronto Police Department, and they made some good recommendation about safety while putting on a garage sale. Listed below are some tips that they shared. Hoping that everyone has a happy and safe sale tomorrow! :)
- Try to keep doors locked especially side doors as people get distracted easily.
- Purse and valuables should not be in plain view.
- Carry a fanny pack or something similar to carry your money. It is not advised to have a cash box that sits on a table.
- Do not accumulate large amounts of cash. Put excess cash in the house.
- Make sure you have enough people to assist you on the day of the sale.
- Greet people and make eye contact with them as they approach your sale. That makes them less likely to steal from you.
- Higher priced items should be closer to the house, not at the sidewalk.
- Don't accept large bills due to counterfeiting.
- Keep the buyer's bill out until you give them their change and then put the bill away. That way, they can't say they gave you a 20 instead of a 10.
- Do not allow any strangers in the house for any reason.
- Put your garage sale package terms of sale notice up that says "Cash Only", "No Returns" and "Final Sale".
See you tomorrow everyone!!!!
